CELPIP Speaking Task 1 Friend Trying to Save Money

Your friend wants to save more money but often overspends on things they don’t need. They’ve asked for your advice on budgeting and saving. What would you suggest?

“Saving money can be challenging, especially with so many temptations to spend. One approach is to make a monthly budget that outlines your necessary expenses and a savings goal. This can help you be more mindful of where your money is going. Another tip is to avoid impulse purchases by waiting 24 hours before buying non-essential items. This helps you think twice about each purchase. With these small adjustments, you’ll find saving money a bit easier. It takes time, but you’re on the right track!”
